Who are we: Prescription Smiles Projest is a group of active-duty Sailors who volunteer twice a month at Children’s National Health System on our off-duty hours.
What do we do: We provide an activity cart for the waiting rooms in the Emergency Department and clinic with coloring sheets, puzzles, magazines, and other activities for patients and their families. We operate a Coffee Cart in the Emergency Department waiting room and the in-patient units. The Coffee Cart is equipped with freshly brewed coffee and hot water for tea and hot chocolate. It also has cups, sugar, and creamer. We make each individual cup to the specifications of the person and it is completely free for them. We act as greeters and “way finders” at the Welcome Desk in the Main Atrium and Emergency Department, assisting families and hospital visitors in navigating the hospital. We also help receive, sort, and stock donations in Dr. Bear’s Toy Closet. And most importantly, we provide smiles and lots of stickers for the patients!
How you can help: The Coffee Cart is based solely on donations. Our goal is to raise $5,000 to fund three Coffee Cart runs on each of our bi-weekly visits for an entire year. Donors can fund one run with a gift of $60, two runs with a gift of $120, or three runs with a gift of $180. A gift of any amount is extremely helpful to these families and is greatly appreciated. For families who have been in the Emergency Room for hours or staff that have been on a long shift, this really means a lot to them.
